As the Shenhou Mansion, which guards the five palaces of the Northern Desert, is as tight as an iron barrel today.

At this moment, two huge white jade carvings squatted on both sides of the gate of the Hou Mansion, majestic and majestic, on both sides of the white jade carvings.

There were two rows of red feather guards wearing bright armor standing. Each red feather guard had a cold expression on his face, and he was very careful to observe the movements around him.

They all knew very well how important the Shenhou Mansion Banquet is today.

Almost all officials above the fifth rank of the entire Beimo Five Prefectures were present. Not only that, young talents from all over the West Liang, Nanbang and Dongdu also rushed to the banquet thousands of miles away.

The reason is very simple...

Chi Guyan, the number one talented woman in the Great Xia Dynasty, is back.

For the officials in the court, this is a rare opportunity to make friends with the future No. marshal, and for young talents, it has a deeper meaning.

A year ago, Chi Guyan was in the imperial capital Yanjing, in front of young talents in the world, and the heroic posture and beauty that made many people kneel down in front of the top of the Double Dragons.

Chi Guyan has no engagement.

This is a secret that everyone in the world knows. Although Chi Guyan's marriage agreement requires the approval of the current emperor, no one will think that the emperor will not agree with Chi Guyan.

Therefore, Chi Guyan's marriage is ultimately decided by Chi Guyan himself.

...

In the Shenhou Mansion, there is an independent and elegant villa.

The pavilions are clear water and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.

Yue'er, wearing a green skirt, stood outside the pavilion, looking at the girl wearing a pink smoke skirt in the pavilion. At this moment, the girl was holding a volume of ancient books in her hand and sitting quietly in the pavilion reading lightly.

It is Chi Guyan.

"Miss, this time Duan Wang is traveling lightly, saying that he is not for the banquet, but just to visit the lady... The lady has finally come back, really won't go to meet her?" Yue'er asked softly behind the girl with a careful look on her face.

"In the future, if your father asks you to pass the message, you won't need to pass it."

"Yes, Miss!"

"It's almost time, prepare."

"Yes!" Yue'er nodded, then immediately waved to the surroundings.

Soon, more than twenty maids appeared, some holding screens in their hands, and some holding accessories, obviously they had been waiting not far away.

...

This is Fang Zhengzhi's first time to come to Jinlin City, so he is naturally a little curious.

Although Yan Xiu has been here several times, it is obvious that he is not a qualified tour guide. Today, Yan Xiu is wearing a white dress with a pair of dark green bamboo embroidered on it, and looks even more noble and arrogant.

Yan Xiu didn't say anything along the way, but just walked side by side with Fang Zhengzheng.

However, with Yan Xiu, it is no longer difficult to find the Shenhou Mansion at least.

After eight years, I saw the familiar armor again, and the familiar red triangle mark on the armor. Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt that time passed quite quickly.

The main entrance of the Shenhou Mansion was opened today. In addition to the Red Feather Guard guarding both sides of the mansion, there were also servants of the Housing Mansion who were responsible for reception walking back and forth in front of the mansion.

"Hello, two young men!" A servant in a short shirt saw Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, and immediately came forward.

"This is a gift to Mr. Hou." Yan Xiu took out a gift list from his arms and handed it over.

"Young Master Dai Hou thanked Mr. Yan Xiu!" The servant looked at the list on the gift list, then looked at the list inside, and his expression became respectful.

Then, the servant's eyes moved to Fang Zhengzhi's body.

Fang Zhengzhi was also watching the servants.

All right……

I must have brought gifts or something.

Fang Zhengzhi also took out a gift slip from his arms and put it in the hands of the servant in a pretty good manner.

The servant took it over and looked at the list. A slight light flashed in his eyes, and then he opened the gift list and glanced at it. His expression suddenly became a little strange.

"One pound of sweet potato, half a bag of peanuts, two earthen bacon..."

"Mr. Fang, is it sure that this gift list is not wrong?" The servant was a little incredible.

"I hope I can like some local specialties from my hometown!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded seriously. This is a real mountain product.

If you want to put it in the previous world, you can't buy it even if you have money.

"Hahaha... Mr. Fang's gift list really has a unique rural atmosphere!" A burst of laughter came from behind Fang Zhengzhi.

Then, a white-faced young man wearing a green uniform appeared in front of Fang Zhengzheng's eyes.

"I'm paying homage to Mr. Lu!" As soon as the servant saw the visitor, he immediately laughed with a charming expression on his face.

"Oh, isn't this Yan Xiu? I often hear people say that they are friends with this rural local beggar. I didn't expect that you are really inseparable?" The young man in the blue and gorgeous clothes ignored the servants, but turned his eyes to Yan Xiu beside Fang Zhengzheng.

Yan Xiu didn't say anything, and he didn't even look at the young master in the blue and gorgeous clothes.

A trace of anger flashed across the face of the young man in blue and gorgeous clothes, but it was fleeting. He did not continue to entangle with Yan Xiu, but turned his eyes to straightforwardness again.

"Fang Zhengzhi, I didn't expect you to come to the banquet? Don't you know that my cousin has returned home? Haha... my cousin hates you very much!" The young man in green and gorgeous clothes looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a sarcastic look on his face.

Fang Zhengzhi also ignored the young master in blue and gorgeous clothes, but just looked at the servant in front of him.

"Is this how the dignified God's Mansion welcomes guests?"

"This..." The servant was stunned, looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then looked at the young master in green clothes and Yan Xiu next to him, and his face changed slightly: "Young Master Lu, Young Master Yan Xiu, Young Master Fang, please come inside!"

Fang Zhengzhi nodded, and then walked towards the Shenhou Mansion with Yan Xiu.

When he walked to the door of the mansion, Fang Zhengzhi turned around and looked at the young man in blue clothes who was still standing outside the door with disdain, and raised his middle finger.

"Two squid!"

The voice was loud, and it was certain that not only the guests and servants who came and went to hear it clearly, but even the Red Feather Guards guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion listened very carefully.

The young man in the blue and gorgeous clothes suddenly turned dark.

"By the way, who is the cousin he mentioned?" After entering the gate of the Hou Mansion, Fang Zhengzheng looked at Yan Xiu beside him.

"The Zhanhou Mansion guards Nanbang, and the Shenhou Mansion guards Beimo. Although the two palaces are separated from north to south, they have in-laws. He is Lu Yusheng, the ninth son of the Zhanhou Mansion. His cousin is naturally..." Yan Xiu explained while walking.

"Haha... don't tell me that the cousin he mentioned was Chi Guyan." Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly.

"That's right!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi and nodded seriously.
